Anyone else suffer with Elbow pain around the joint area when you started out doing squats? Only lasts a couple of days, starts as soon as I get under the bar and push my shoulders back. Any tips or exercises to alleviate it?

I had really bad elbow pain for months from squatting. The way I fixed it was to stop trying to keep my wrists straight instead let them bend back. That's one of the pieces of advice in Starting Strength I really disagree with, at least for people with long forearms.

The tighter your hands are toward your body, the more force goes down your elbows, and the more unstable the bar so you tend to compensate more. Just getting the hands wider takes care of almost all the elbow pain. I also find that it is easier to get my upper back tight when my arms aren't so close together.

I faced elbow pain in my left arm a couple of months into Squatting. for me, it was a combination of bar too low on the back and bent wrists. I personally benefited from straight wrists and yes, wider grip helped to alleviate the pain. It meant less tightness in upper back but that was still okay.
